Metanoia (Repentance): A Major Theme of the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew describes the beginning of Jesus’s ministry with the summary words, “μετανοεῖτε (repent/turn), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (3:2; 4:17). Why does Matthew use this command, μετανοεῖτε, at the beginning of his ministry, and how does it relate to the rest of the Gospel? What do μετανοέω and μετάνοια mean? Scholars have stated that μετανοέω in 4:17 has critical value for understanding Matthew because the verse functions as a summary statement (or key phrase) of Jesus’s public ministry and teaching. This book argues the thematic significance of μετάνοια (turning/repentance) in the Gospel of Matthew. The lexical idea of...
The Meaning and Uses of βασιλεία in the Gospel of Matthew
Contrary to the prevailing view that βασιλεία is a verbal noun signifying God’s rule, this study demonstrates how the term’s pragmatic range in Matthew’s Gospel covers both five distinct types of use and their integration into a coherent concept. The study, which is the first to examine all occurrences of βασιλεία in the First Gospel from the perspective of semantic monosemy, extends and enhances our appreciation of the Matthean Zentralbegriff, and engenders a more accurate apprehension of the nature and aims of the Matthean narrative and the theological views it conveys.
Repentance and the Mission of the Church
What does it mean when we call men and women to repent? What if repentance is more than just turning from individual sin? What if repentance is more than merely a step in the process of conversion? What if repentance is actually part of God's mission in the world? In this book, W. Ryan Vanderland argues for this very understanding of repentance. Building on the work of other scholars of repentance and engaging with Old Testament and New Testament texts, this book shows how repentance is indeed part of God's mission in the world, part of the mission of the church in the world, and therefore part of the mission of God's people. Finally, this work takes this missional understanding of repentance and applies it to issues facing the contemporary church.
The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing
The Sermon on the Mount, one of the most influential portions of the Bible, is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian Scriptures. Every Christian generation turns to it for insight and guidance. In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and economics.
Philosophy of Law, Theories, Examples and Human Rights
The book Philosophy of Law presents relevant theories, puts emphasis on the analysis of the branches of law and of basic human rights, and proposes the holistic analysis of law. In the first part the author analyses the main elements of each theory (natural law, legal positivism, legal realism, legal formalism, legal liberalism, economic analysis of law, critical legal studies). The main philosophers of law or supporters of each theory are discussed. In the second part of the book human rights and jurisprudence are analysed in the context of public law, criminal law (e.g., death penalty), private law and international law. The holistic analysis of law is proposed as a theory to address modern problems, such as poverty, climate change, the pandemic, and other global issues. The book is designed primarily for law students, teachers and supervisors.

PRINSIP-PRINSIP PELAYANAN YESUS DALAM MENGHADAPI DISKRIMINASI MENURUT INJIL MATIUS
Selama beberapa tahun belakangan ini, kasus-kasus diskriminasi masih banyak terjadi di Indonesia, baik dalam kehidupan gereja maupun masyarakat luas. Beberapa pertanyaan penting yang muncul adalah: Apakah diskriminasi serupa terjadi juga pada masyarakat di zaman Yesus? Jika ya, bagaimana Yesus menghadapinya? Apakah cara Yesus menghadapi diskriminasi pada zaman-Nya relevan bagi gereja di Indonesia saat ini? Melalui studi analisis budaya dan studi sinkronik terhadap pelayanan Yesus menurut injil Matius, penelitian ini mencoba menemukan prinsip-prinsip pelayanan Yesus dalam menghadapi diskriminasi yang terjadi pada zaman-Nya. Diharapkan hasil studi ini dapat membuka cakrawala berpikir gereja di Indonesia dalam menghadapi diskriminasi yang terjadi, baik di dalam gereja maupun di dalam masyarakat.
